Calling Sims 2 Lore Aficionados!

Hello, Sims 2 players … are you … addicted … to Sims 2 lore?

Have I got a treat for you!

So, before I got into modding, I wrote a lot. Mostly novelizations of my favorite slasher/horror films via Fanfiction.net lol

Now, with my Sims obsession blossoming, I want to bring in my writing skills.

Tales of SimNation

I really want to create for the Sims 2. Not just mods, but creative fiction. Documenting Sim history as they see it and as how I, and players, interpret it. I want to write about them. Write about their universe. Weave together a cohesive narrative with the fun added challenge of clearing up EA/Maxis discrepancies.

I want to write it in narrative fashion, kind of like a historical novel that combines Sims 1, 2, and 3 lore (maybe throw in some weird stuff at the end about the "alternate timeline" of Sims 4 ... ) but it shouldn't be hard to plod through if you know what I mean. Fun, and Sim-my.

Maybe some dark stuff here and there like describing Olive Specter’s adolescence (I plan on a volume that entails the events of Midnight Hollow TS3 Store World and yes, Olive Specter is a character there before Strangetown!) or like neighborhood/character corruption being used to describe political corruption in the hood.

I will start it with the citizens of Roaring Heights, told in multiple “vignettes”, embroiled in a technological feud with the “innovation capital” of early Sim Nation: Twinbrook.

This excerpt is an unfinished Table of Contents and Prologue, and then the first “vignette”, told by a local author in Roaring Heights, who takes you through a brief history of early Sim Nation.

As far as other stories in Roaring Heights for Volume #1, I will describe Consort Capp’s life as a young adult - he is a character in Sims 3 Roaring Heights along with HIS parents, Hector and Andromache Thebe!

Here’s where we get into the discrepancy of the Capp family - I made this another link for those who aren’t interested in Veronaville lore. This is just ONE of many of Veronaville's discrepancies (I was not a Veronaville kid, y'all may have to fill in the gaps in my research).

Ultimately, the novel (in a series of volumes) will HAVE to culminate in the iconic abduction of Bella, Don’s ass getting whisked to Riverview and Dina and Nina taking a little trip to Barnacle Bay.

Obviously, it can be an endless ongoing story! And Simmers are free to chime in!

What hoods should I include in the early days of Sim Nation?

I honestly don’t think I could write for Sims Medieval.

I can think of the early worlds/hoods post-medieval as being obviously Veronaville (described as “Old Country”- Goths may have descended from there, I feel like Altos from S3 might have as well - they are a parody of the Sopranos so…), Midnight Hollow, Moonlight Falls, Roaring Heights, Twinbrook, Starlight Shores (its bio references a 300-year old beginning) and possibly Sunset Valley (what became Pleasantview. I will also have to work out how Sunset Valley changed into a tiny town like Pleasantview lol). Bridgeport may have also started around then by a man named Ebenezer Alto - another possible source of the Altos. Then, of course, there's Strangetown ... UGHHH there’s too much to try and weave together, but I like a challenge …

I’ll keep everyone posted!

EDIT: Or course, SimCity from Sims 1 will be featured. Between Sims 3 and Sims 2 events

The Sims 2 Lore: Olive Specter

#youtube #the sims 2 #sims 2 #the sims #sims 2 lore #the sims 2 lore #sims lore #olive specter #who is buried in olive specters garden

In the hackneyed and obvious contrast between Pleasantview and Strangetown, I see a powerful message for myself.

The first impression of Pleasantview: peace, quiet, houses with white picket fences, the American dream come to life. But what do we see when we look closer? Sims die and go missing under mysterious circumstances, husbands cheat on their wives, wives happily bury their husbands, and children hate their parents and each other. Everyone is trying very hard to look wholesome and good, and it makes the whole thing so much worse and ugly. When I played there as a kid, I didn't understand all these subtleties, but now I can confidently say that Pleasantview is the most depressing neighborhood ever to appear in The Sims.

Strangetown at first sight: WHAT. THE. FUCK. Among the lifeless sands, the mad scientists are torturing the poor punk in the basement, the pregnant guy is wandering around somewhere nearby, the old lady sits on the throne in the middle of the cemetery, and a third of the population are literally not human. But at the same time, there is absolutely no cheating, there are almost no chilling secrets, and the relationship between the inhabitants (including the sadistic scientists and the unfortunate punk) is good or neutral in most cases. The biggest evil in this town is the xenophobic and fierce general, but compared to the schemers of Pleasantview, even he seems as innocent as a lamb. To a degree, everyone in Strangetown does shit, but they do it just for fun, without compromising their ideals, interests and natural inclinations for profit.

As for me, the moral of all this story is as simple as ABC. It is much better to be a strange fucked-up weirdo who lives in harmony with themself and their loved ones, rather than trying to create a pleasant image of themself and constantly lying themself and others. At some point, Bella Goth got tired of this bullshit and — I'm pretty sure! — voluntarily jumped into a flying saucer to get as far away from the whole mess as possible.

About Olive Specter's graveyard

Why did all Olive's lovers die ? Why are they all buried in her garden with so much NPCs ? Is she really a murderer ? Here is what I think about that story.

I. Why such a strange house ?

Olive is an elder sim who lives in Strangetown with her teenager niece. She is particularly emblematic because she lives in a strange house with a private graveyard in her garden (with a chair to watch the graves comfortably). Her house looks kinda like a temple or a church, and even if it's not decorated perfectly like a cult place, her decoration is very dark and gothic as if it was very old. An interesting fact about this house is that Olive doesn't have a "moved in" memory, so we can suppose that she and her sister grew up here. So what ? Maybe she just inherited the old house and made a graveyard in her garden. No no no, let me bring you another fact.

In Sims 2 PSP version, Olive is deceased and Ophelia lives in a sort of chapel which Olive gave to her in her testament. We can find different graves in the backyard, including very old graves like Vittorio Florica's or Virginya Feng's. So we know that Olive didn't kill them all, and it's just a chapel with a graveyard like so many. What if it was the same thing in the Sims 2 PC version ? What if Olive's family is traditionally the one who keeps all the graves of the cemetery ?

II. So... She is... not a murderer?

Oh yes she is, let me explain.

First thing, let's make a list of all the people who are buried in her graveyard (actually, The Sims Wiki made it...)

And here is a list of sims i think she actually killed :

- Earl E. DeMise

- Tim Lee DeMise

- Hugh Tanasia

- Lou Tanasia

I mean, Earl left her at the altar, and he AND HIS BROTHER died next after that. Of course she took her revenge and killed Earl, then Tim, maybe because he knew too much. And maybe Hugh was a garbage as well and she just get rid of him (and his brother who doesn't even appear in the graveyard). But all the other, aarf...

- The NPCs and townies who died of starvation were just poor (interestingly, in the Sims 3, when we throw out food, we have a moodlet like "people are starving in Strangetown")

- Rigger Mortis maybe died catching fire because of extreme heatness.

- Ichabod died of old age.

- her parents died in a fire.

- her sister and Ophelia's dad died in a car accident, car that fell into water leading them to die by drowning.

What do you think about it ?

Happy ( really late) father's day

i put Alt text because my photography skill is at zero and a half and you can't read anything on the second image sorry..

Hey! Why does Tycho get 2 dads and I get Zero! /j

I could use this as a reaction image I don't know when, but Im sure I'll find a good time to send this

Stupid rambling below ignore if you want idc

↓

i make Tycho female in my art because when I was able to run the Sims 2 long enough so pascal could give birth to his alien baby, he had a girl But then my game crashed immediately after and I didn't save.. so I remade them in the Sims 4 and used mc command center to give him an alien baby, a girl again, so I could relive the memory of my Sims 2 Tycho's birth and get to raise her since I couldn't do that in the Sims 2

Wow I really went on a memory spree, well thats why Tycho is a girl here and not a boy, they'll be non-binary as a teenager though they're a toddler rn tho as of yesterday..I'm on long lifespan I wanna really enjoy my time with those guys...

Whoops I did it again

Well happy Father's day, for pascal & nervous ( because in my head he married pascal and lives happy now Instead of dying because I hate sad endings ok!) and vidcund because HE wanted to get dicked down by aliens, now he has to DEAL with the consequences! Don't SELL nova like you SOLD Tycho you insane man! I don't wanna have to rescue ANOTHER baby! ( <- Has never played the psp game but knows the lore)

This translation bugs me

I saw this in a Spanish youtuber's video talking about Cornwall. His bio in the Spanish version of the game is pretty bad. Look at the first sentence.

English:

Cornwall isn't thrilled that his brother-in-law Kent is living with him while he gets back on his feet after losing his job.

Spanish:

Cornwall is not afraid of Kent, his brother-in-law, living with him while he recovers from losing his job.

Which basically inverts the meaning. The point in the original bio is that Cornwall is not happy about it, while the translation implies he's okay with it.

And the translation also added this extra line:

"Will he try improving his relationship with his own daughter Hermia?"

Hermia is not his daughter in the original game, and they didn't change any family ties in the Spanish release to reflect this change. I don't mind localization making changes to the lore, but this seems so unneccesary, and has nothing to do with making the game more understandable or attractive to Spanish-speaking players.

Anyway, that said, I don't mind people theorizing about this. I guess there are two Veronaville canons.

I love the sims 2 lore. Honestly if the sims 5 was just the sims 2 with the sims 4 building and CAS I would be really happy. The sims 4 is severely lacking in premade sim lore. Even as someone who always plays with custom households I love the lore of sims towns.
